Fantasies to Realities
Posted by Danny on November 30th, 2008 filed in RandomComment now »
I have to credit my friend Jessie for leading me toward something like this. I have always laughed off the zodiac predictions and silly little anecdotes they put in the paper every day. Tonight tho, while stumbling around the internet I came across this gem. Its not a prediction but rather a dissection of what your mental make up might look like, not only to you but everyone around you. After reading this I have to say… its exactly right.
Signs of the Zodiac
By Athena Starwoman
Pisces 
Your element:
Water
Your ruling planets:
Neptune
Symbol:
The Fish
Your stone:
Bloodstone
Life Pursuit: To avoid feeling alone and instead feel connected to others and the world at large
Vibration: Erratic Energy levels
Pisces Secret Desire: To live their dreams and turn fantasies into realities.
Description:
Mysterious and alluring individuals, most Pisces are extremely
talented, but even though they are gifted in many ways, they still
manage to spend most of their lives battling “confusing” conditions.
Pisces is the sign symbolised by the image of two fish. Their symbol
depicts one fish heading upward, the other pulling downward. This
mirrors how Pisceans are frequently torn between two pathways in life,
or actually do live two very different existences at the same time.
The number 2, is a very powerful number for them. This zodiac sign is
acknowledged as being the Saint and the Sinner rolled into one; the
trendsetter of fashion or art, the lost soul, the philosopher and the
psychotic and the visionary. As a credit to them, considering their
many vulnerable characteristics; Pisceans are incredibly adaptable and
resilient. They are to be found leading the field in many diverse areas
of life and many Pisces can be found represented amongst top business
millionaires. On the other side of the coin, prisons, reform schools
and all kinds of institutions statistically hold a high number of
Pisceans too.
The Piscean’s inner quest to explore their “ivory tower” syndrome can
lead them into some most unusual and unlikely living conditions. Of all
the signs of the zodiac, Pisces are the ones who end up in the most
muddles over the years of their lives. They fantasize about situations,
people and particularly romance - and because they spend so much time
in their own form of ‘fantasy land’ this can catch them short in other
more worldly areas. Because of this inner world of fantasy, Pisces
people seldom perceive whatever is going on around them in its true
light. They see life instead as they want to see it, coloring their
view of the world in hues and tones far removed from its true
reflection. No wonder this is the sign of both miracles and
disillusionment. If you are a Pisces, be warned your emotions are a
weak spot.
One thing that plays havoc with your life is romance. When things
romantically are going well for you, you are on cloud nine. When
romance turns sour you land in a heap. Pisces often need to take lots
of holidays (or time off) to recover from life’s many diverse
pressures. You are the zodiac’s most sensitive sign, so you need to
take extra special care of yourself. Nobody can beat you up, as much as
you can beat yourself up within your own mind. In your purest form you
are psychic, visionary and a guiding light to all who know you. But, in
your “out of tune” state, you become depressed, obsessive and confused.
Missing

When I got home this afternoon I noticed something not quite right in the apartment. Then it hit me… someone stole the love seat! Kitty was first on the scene but soon proved to be of little help. I quickly tried to figure out who could have done such a thing by questioning the roomies, but I soon realized that Kitty and I were the only ones who seemed to notice that it was missing.
Then tragedy struck as Kitty suddenly became complacent and gave up on the search for the missing furniture.
If you would like to help with the search of the couch here is some helpful info:
Mid-sized brown leather sofa
Goes by the name “LoveSeat”
Around 8 months to One year old
Friendly, will not bite, up to date on shots and is oiled regularly.
There is no reward at this time for the missing couch. If found please contact me as soon as possible.
Catastrophe

I have had a lot of things disrupt me while trying to play games on my computer… but Kitty is a new kind of disruption. A warm, fuzzy, annoying disturbance.

For A Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic - Paramore
Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You’ve hit your one wall
Now find a way around
Well what’s the problem?
You’ve got a lot of nerve
So what did you think I would say?
No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
You wouldn’t
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
I’m not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fight shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You’ll get what you deserve
So what did you think I would say?
No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
You wouldn’t
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don’t you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay well did you
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, SO MUCH FAITH
And then you just threw it away

It is currently 4:18 am. You may think to yourself, “What on Earth could be keeping you up so late?” And if so, you should really get a new hobby. Certain things have been force ably keeping my normally relaxed self restless.
It could be that tax season has started which inevitably brings out the worst in just about everyone. For some people getting every last penny they think they are entitled to back instead of just enjoying what they have and spending it wisely. Others just want to get them done and over with.
It might be my new cat that decides that she needs to wake me at all hours of the day when I’m trying to get that extra 4 minutes of sleep before work. While also dragging into my room the latest socks and underwear she has stolen from my female roommate to give to me like some sort of present.
You might also want to throw in that my sister somehow thinks that everyone is out to get her when really we are just trying to prevent her from going down the same road that I went down. Add in the fact that since she is a girl she can get into certain situations that I, as a guy, cannot. Mix in a little emotion, low self esteem, loving but inept parenting, and a flawed social system that allows you to blame any and everything but yourself, and you are just one step away from failure. Shake and serve chilled.
It could also be the fact that a little over a month ago I had to try my best not to crumble at the sight of my best friend moving away. Leaving me with a weakened support structure that I had meticulously built over these past few years so that I wouldn’t falter or stumble upon impact. Maybe I sit here asking myself why, that every time I open up to someone and give of myself, they can’t stay. Asking myself what in the hell did I ever do to earn this disaster. Thinking that I did something wrong. Wondering why it is that I can’t sustain or fill this emotional void. Don’t think these are hasty and harshly spoken words. I never once blamed her for doing this.
Or maybe I’m just bored…

Landing on a runway in Chicago and I’m grounding all my dreams
of ever really seeing California, because I know what’s in between
is something sensual in such non-conventional ways.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t (say).
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say.
(Tonight I’m writing you) a million miles away
Tonight is all about “We miss you” (We miss you) “We miss you” (We miss you)
Tonight is all about “We miss you”
And I can’t forget your style or your cynicism,
somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said.
My smile’s an open wound without you…and my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say.
(Tonight I’m writing you) a million miles away
Tonight is all about “We miss you” (We miss you) “We miss you” (We miss you)
Tonight is all about “We miss you now”
These friends are, new friends are golden [x3]
These friends are, new friends are…
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say.
These friends are, new friends are golden
You know who you are…

While thumbing through the internet earlier today, I ran across this interesting story of one woman’s experience at a New Jersey. I will post the conversation between the sales rep and woman but for the whole story click the link at the bottom of the post. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Woman 1: (Late 60s) I’m looking for a J-Phone. My grandson wants me…
Guy Clerk: (Early 20s, black clothes, designer glasses.) (Sneers.) We don’t carry J-phones.
Woman 1: This is the Apple store? Yes, J-phones.
Guy Clerk: Sorry. No Js. Any other letters?
Woman 1: (Confused) Uh…
Other Woman: (Good samaritan) She means “I”. What’s wrong with you?
Guy Clerk: Oh. “I.” Of course. iPhones. We carry them.
Woman 1: (Places her outdated phone on counter next to iPhone) Isn’t a phone a phone? What’s the difference between these?
Guy Clerk: You mean other than yours was made before the Industrial Revolution, before dinosaurs roamed the earth…and no one living in this century would be caught…
Woman 1: You’re not happy are you? You think you’re better than being a sales person at the mall.
Guy Clerk: (surprised, pauses.) No. Yes. I guess…
Woman 1: You’re not. You’re a sales clerk and you’re rude and small. I’d like to speak with your supervisor.
Guy Clerk: (contrite) Look, I’m…
Woman 1: Now. (Sales guy still hesitates.) Not tomorrow. Now.
Now for the reprimand and awesome apology. Full Story Here
PS - Jeff, if you can recreate this with video you will be more awesome. Plus this was mostly for your enjoyment.
